read WoW chat

[deusx]

Is there a way for my CC to read WoW chat? I wonna make it coop with my arena partners and react on certain keywords in party chat

 

[deusx]

no one? messed around with intelisence(spelling?) but came out short

if you want to deal with raw Lua events, look into
Styx.WoWInternals.Lua.Events.Attach/DetachEvent()
or for the more friendly option look into
Styx.WoWInternals.WoWChat
which contains many event handlers for most types of chat.

IMHO, this could be a VERRRRY bad idea. Something similar is the reason behind the Pirox MASSIVE banwave last year with their original Archy bot. Just a heads up. I see Arena's being so monitorable(yes i know this is not a real word, but ya get the gist), I personally think that using any kind of chat to base your abilities off of a sure fire way to get banned. I may be completely off base, but there is no way I would do it unless i didnt GaF about the account I was playing.

No, what he wants to do has nothing to do with what pirox did with his arch bot.

Re-read the OP

He wants it to do something based on what someone says (You know, like a REAL player)

So he could have it trigger so if his partner said for E.G "Mage" then the bot would switch/nuke the mage.

So i don't see how acting more like a real player is risky

Well depending on what the trigger words are is what would make the difference here. But regardless, he is wanting the bot to respond according to certain keywords. Still seems like a bad idea to me. Only stating my 2 cents.

Either way.. If he wanted to make a plugin that wrote trade channel that he is a bot, it's up to him. I don't see a point in not telling him to do what he wants to, instead of helping him do what he wants.

What next, are you gonna go to profile threads and say 'this isn't the best way to make gold, so I wouldn't make this profile if I were you'?

PS. Sorry for being bitter. I guess I'm just too tired to be nice right now..

 

[Cukie]

Not at all. He is free to do whatever he wants with his account. Does this mean nobody should point out how it could possibly be a bad idea? No? You're right, my bad. And for the record, nowhere did I tell him not to do it. I simply said it is potentially a very bad idea.

Here are some code bits:


Hook to event:

WoWChat.Say += WoWChat_Say;

then "use" the data

private void WoWChat_Say(WoWChat.ChatLanguageSpecificEventArgs e)
{      
    Logging.Write(string.Format("[SAY] {0}: {1}", e.Author, e.Message));
}
